Hua Ji'an seemed very decisive in dealing with the return of the position of Zhengshen, and did not drag on the slightest position, because he knew that he controlled the entire army by relying on the reputation of Wuyi Marquis Liu Yu. Now that Liu Yu is back, his reputation has dropped to the bottom.

No one can control a group of wild beasts as easily as Liu Yu, such as Huo Bing and Qi Fang, and no one is more suitable for the head coach to suppress veterans from the original border army than Liu Yu. Although He Mao supports Hua Ji'an, He Mao is a general of the Chang'an nobles after all, and he is still different from the common generals who have climbed up from the pile of dead people.

Liu Yu returned to the camp as the commander of the central army and seemed very low-key. In the next step, he presided over the withdrawal of the army. Before the cold winter in the north came, Shunchao's army retreated from the north of Mobei and retreated all the way south towards Shaowu Pass.

Far away in Chang'an City, news outside the border is difficult to spread. All forces cannot even know whether Liu Yu is alive or dead. They focus more on how to deal with Liu Yu's wife, the head coach of the female army. At the same time, all forces are also observing the situation of the vanguard General's Mansion.

Their investigation result was that the vanguard general's house was surprisingly calm.

Everything was peaceful in the mansion, and the guards patroled step by step. Even Xu Xuanzhu went out of the city to patrol frequently. Deputy Commander Xu Caihua never entered Chang'an City after the autumn. Every time Xu Caihua went to the Ministry of War to report his duties, Xu Xuanzhu was also outside the city. Xu Xuanzhu was avoiding the vacuum of the female military's power.

This left the forces in the court who had some intentions against the female army helpless.

Among the several forces, the two-phase party, the new imperial sect and the fourth princess sect were the most radical. In fact, these three parties reached a tacit understanding after Liu Yu went to war, trying to dismantle Liu Yu's old forces in Chang'an City to achieve the full control of the imperial power over the military power of Guanzhong.

The two camps of Chang'an City and the new army were very simple to deal with. After transferring Qi Fang and Zhang Wuzhu out of Guanzhong to the border, Liu Yu's other subordinates were only shrimp soldiers and crab generals. The emperor quickly controlled the two camps of Chang'an City, the Six Defense Department and the Imperial Army. Only on the female army, Su Yan, Yuan Bolang and Su Bi and others found that it was a seamless needle.

The female army is a very unique military system.

First of all, the female army is all women, and the country is unique and has no other family.

This was related to the mother of the Zu Emperor from the early days of the founding of the Dashun Dynasty. The Zu Emperor was helped by his mother's female army to pacify the north. Therefore, after the founding of the Shun Dynasty, the status of women was not inferior to that of men, and even princesses could become crown princesses. The establishment of the female army was continued, and more than a hundred years later, the Shun Dynasty made contributions in the battle to pacify the world.

Although the Shun Dynasty was founded for nearly two hundred years, it only lasted sixty years to pacify the world.

The uniqueness of the female army made it impossible for male generals to command this army, and all the female generals came from the female army. Whether it was the deputy commander Xu Caihua or other female generals, they only followed the order of the female commander Xu Xuanzhu. What made all forces even more helpless is that these women are famous for not taking advantage of temptations and not knowing how to adapt.

The female army obeyed Xu Xuanzhu. Xu Xuanzhu was Liu Yu's wife and did not make any progress. This game of chess was a dead game from the beginning. Just when the new emperor was about to transfer the female army to the border and completely finished it, Liu Yu was plotted by Min Shaoqing to lose and disappear on the grassland. A dead game of chess seemed to have a way out.

Liu Yu died, and Liu Yu's old party defected to Hua Ji'an, which made the court fall into a passive state. If the female army was pushed out at this time, it would be like filling in chips for the enemy. After all, Xu Xuanzhu is different from Liu Yu's other old party. She is Liu Yu's wife. If Hua Ji'an is not good to the court, then at least the new emperor can still influence Xu Xuanzhu through family affection.

Liu Yu was helping the new emperor from beginning to end, which is obvious to all. Although the court strictly guarded Liu Yu, he was still a loyal minister after all, and the widow of the loyal minister should not have violated the will of his husband and joined the ranks of the rebels.

So the female army continued to remain intact and continued to station around Chang'an City. Even Xu Xuanzhu asked to be transferred to the border to meet the battle several times, but the new emperor refused.

Everyone knows that Xu Xuanzhu did not go to fight. On the one hand, she wanted to find her husband, and also wanted to seek revenge on the Turks.

When she went to the border, she really became a group of old subordinates, Hua Ji'an and Liu Yu, and she was in a relationship.

Sometimes things were full of twists and turns, and Liu Yu was not dead. In fact, no one learned about this news at the beginning, but Liu Yu immediately brought the news from the Western Regions through the scouts in Zhang Wuzhu's army, allowing Xu Xuanzhu to learn about it. Liu Yu didn't want the women at home to worry about him.

It was late July.

While passing the message, Liu Yu also brought back a secret letter, explaining his family affairs and some military affairs. The most important point is to remind Xu Xuanzhu to be careful of other forces in the court. In the high position of the general, Liu Yu knew that his wife would easily become the target of public criticism. The things he arranged were very simple to summarize, as usual!

After Xu Xuan built his old style, he pretended not to know that Liu Yu was still alive. He should train troops and ask for adjustments. The matter lasted for more than a month, until the overall situation of the war in the north was settled, and the fun in the court still did not know that Liu Yu was still alive.

However, due to a mistake by the military officer, the people of the Ministry of Revenue realized that there was something strange about this batch of tribute grain in the Western Regions. The news was investigated by the Ministry of Revenue and then conveyed to the emperor and Yuan Bolang through the Minister of Revenue Li Yannian, which made most people in the court think that Liu Yu was not dead yet. After all, there was no airtight wall in the world. Later, there were many "good news" that proved that Liu Yu was in the north, but was not in the central army of Shun Dynasty. In other words, although Liu Yu was not dead, he did not return to the camp to compete for the position of commander from Huaji'an, but chose to "work alone".

No one knows what Liu Yu is doing.

It was not until October 13 that the Turkic Letter arrived in Chang'an City that the new emperor was convinced that Liu Yu was not dead and surrendered to the Turks. Then there was the discussion on the Yaqian Palace on October 14, and there was also the discussion between Su Bi and Yuan Bolang on "eliminating" Liu Yu. At the same time, the Shun Dynasty army had been divided into two parts, one retreated to Jinyao City under the leadership of Qi Fang, and the other had returned to Shaowu Pass with Liu Yu and Hua Ji'an. The Turkic envoys to Chang'an City, led by the Turkic Tiankhan Crown Timur, also set off with Shun Dynasty army and arrived outside Shaowu Pass.

Liu Yu did not arbitrarily allow the Turks to enter the territory of the Central Plains.

Because Liu Yu's trip was low-key, the people in Chang'an City did not know that Liu Yu had returned, and the Shun Dynasty army withdrew from Shaowu Pass was nominally led by Hua Ji'an. The position of commander in Hua Ji'an was appointed by the new emperor's edict. Although Liu Yu and Hua Ji'an completed the handover of military power, the matter could not be announced to the public before the emperor reappointed Liu Yu as commander.

As soon as Liu Yu arrived at Shaowu Pass, the court issued an order. On the one hand, he agreed to the Turkic envoys to Chang'an City. On the other hand, Hua Ji'an also asked the soldiers who had made contributions to pacifying the Turks this time to return to Chang'an City to receive rewards. This was understandable, but the little tricks the court played in the will made Liu Yu feel the crisis. The imperial edict said that because he was afraid that the Turkic people would be injuring, the army should continue to stay in Jinyao City and Shaowu Pass to deal with it.

In other words, only the generals were transferred back to Chang'an City for rewards, but not troops.

Even if the generals and generals returned together, Hua Ji'an would not dare to return to Chang'an City. He knew that he would die if he returned. When Hua Ji'an launched a coup to execute Min Shaoqing, it shocked the court. At this time, Hua Ji'an returned to victory, and the court had already taken action to remove him. This is one of the reasons why he was willing to return the position of commander to Liu Yu as soon as possible after the army won, because he knew that he could no longer tolerate the new emperor and other powerful people. The day of victory was the time for liquidation, and only Liu Yu could protect him.

After thinking about it, Liu Yu made a decision to replace Hua Ji'an and lead some generals back to Chang'an City for rewards. This was also the first time that Liu Yu had officially appeared after returning to the Central Army and met with a group of people headed by officials from the Ministry of Rites to spread the imperial edict. When the people from the Ministry of Rites saw Liu Yu, they truly confirmed that Wuyi Hou was not dead.

When Liu Yu saw the envoy of the court, he said bluntly: "I am immortal and now I have regained the seal of the commander of the three armies. I will follow you back to Chang'an City. The three armies must leave a general to guard the city. Jin Yao City is guarded by General Yunjin Qi, and Shaowu Pass is guarded by Deputy Commander Hua."

Liu Yu's words made the envoys look at each other. Based on their feelings, Liu Yu had not appeared for so long, and this appearance would have become the commander of the three armies again. There must be something tricky about it! Otherwise, it would be unreasonable. There is only one explanation, that is, the current Marquis of Wuyi was controlled by others and was "forced" back to Chang'an City by Hua Ji'an. Hua Ji'an was demoted to the deputy commander, so he did not have to go back to Chang'an City to collect the crime.

Not only were the envoys of the court, but even the officials in the court, such as Yuan Bolanglan and others, including the Xinhuang, would believe that the three armies were still under the control of Hua Ji'an at this time.

But in fact, Liu Yu had already regained the military and political power of the entire army on his way back. Some old border troops who were not easy to manage were all stationed in Jinyao City led by Qi Fang and Zhang Wuzhu. After that, these people would be transferred to other border gates to achieve the purpose of division. When they returned to Shaowu Pass, they were all new troops who had fought in the south and north and the troops of the two camps of Chang'an City over the past year. They were not disloyal to him.

The envoys of the court were willing to think so, and Liu Yu wanted them to think so. Only in this way could he, the Marquis of Wuyi, appear "insignificant" and be a "puppet" controlled by others. Only in this way could Su Yan feel that this master could not be abandoned and he would rely on him to solve the major problem of Huaji'an.

Liu Yu returned to Chang'an City this time, in fact, he wanted to take off his great responsibility and become a idle person in the future and get out of trouble. The world is stable, and if he doesn't stand it, he will be cooked by a dead rabbit and a dead dog.

Without giving the imperial envoys the chance to refuse, the next day, Liu Yu symbolically transferred hundreds of new army guards, and brought a group of seemingly insignificant generals such as Sui Yi and Li Mi, and then brought the Turkic envoy team to Chang'an City together.

When Su Yan received the news, he put down the memorial in his hand and said, "Master...he is back."
